The Dove of Steel (7)

Isaac slowly paced back and forth from his spot and an adjacent one, wondering what to do. He thought he could hear what appeared to crying, but he wasn’t quiet sure on it.

Finally, he gave in, he approached the skirt legs, still staying relatively far away and said,

“Hey, you alright?”

The crying stopped for a moment, and he could hear a woman’s voice, say nervously,

“Hello? Is anyone there? Hello?”

Isaac froze for a moment, he could recognize that voice. It wasn’t personally familiar, but he could tell by her accent what she was. She was another of his kind.

Isaac shook the thought of it, he was jumping to conclusions. He spoke again,

“Hey, come on out, it’s ok, I won’t hurt you.”

He waited a moment, then saw the legs reel in, and then he heard what appeared to be be very gentle footsteps come near him,

The woman stepped into the light,and everything for Isaac changed forever.
